"Selene, I PROMISE, Yugi's other self is a Pharaoh of Egypt. A lady at the
Domino museum told us. She said that certain Millennium Items have ancient
Egyptian spirits living in them."
"Nice. And I suppose I'm some Phoenician princess." said Selene, "Why
didn't you tell me this AFTER I was done reading my comic?"
"Selene," said the 'other' Yugi, "Maybe she'll help you with you're
Destiny." He said it in a calm, but very serious voice.
"A pharaoh." said Selene, looking up at him. She could barely hide the
sarcasm in her voice.
"Yes." He said. All of a sudden he felt a small hand tug on his.
"Awe you Cuddles?" asked Carolyn.
"In a way." He replied.
"You'we- You'we SUPEW Cuddles." said Carolyn with her eyes sparkling.
"Isn't that a good name, Fluffy-Baby?" she asked her Teddy-Bear.
"Yeah slave Carolyn, He is Cuddles's Super-self. I bet Fluffy-Baby thinks
that too. By Royal order of Queen Marilyn, he is now named Super Cuddles."
said Marilyn. The other Yugi stared at her.
"EEP!" whimpered Marilyn, running as fast as her legs could carry her away
from him.
"Wow, you must be a Pharaoh. NOBODY can get rid of Marilyn." said Selene.
"PLEASE come Selene! Even if there is nothing in your Earrings, I can show
you the exhibit." Tea said pleadingly.
"Alright, Alright, I'll come. What can go wrong?" Selene said.
"I'll come with you." said the other Yugi.
"Let's go then!" said Tea. They all left. Darien turned to Marilyn and
Carolyn.
"Come on, girls. I have to take you to Day Care." He said.
"NONONONONONO!" screamed Marilyn and Carolyn, covering their ears and
running in all directions.
"They're waiting for you." Darien said.
"Oh please Daddy, let us stay hewe!" said Carolyn.
"But, you love Day Care, remember."
"But that was in America." said Marilyn, "And anyways, I have to finish
putting on my nail polish."
"Oh come on-" he started but was interrupted by the doorbell. He opened it.
It was Joey and Tristan.
"Hi Darien! Are Yugi, Selene, and Tea here? We checked the Game shop
already." asked Joey
"No, they just left, sorry."
"Oh. Well where's everyone else?" asked Tristan.
"Tori went to work at the hospital, and Dad is most probably at the bank."
Darien answered.
"Save us Stwabewwy!" cried Carolyn, clinging to Tristan.
"They have to go to day care." Darien said, rolling his eyes.
"Oh we could take care of them." said Tristan.
"I won-" started Joey as Charlie leapt on him.
"Rmf mrrof." said Joey, his words indiscernible by Charlie's licks.
"You wouldn't want to. They're big trouble-makers."
"No we're not!" said Marilyn.
"No, of course not. They're little Angels." Tristan said.
"Are you sure?" asked Darien.
"Of course! Consider it a favor." said Tristan.
"Alright, but don't fall for the eyes, okay? Bye!" Darien said.
"Eyes?" asked Tristan, but Darien left.

"Okay, we're here." said Tea, "Now let's look for Isis."
"If you insist." said Selene, opening her manga.
"What's that?" asked the other Yugi.
"A comic-book Manga." She replied, as Tea went to find Isis, "You want
one?"
"No." said the other Yugi. He had better start acting like a Pharaoh, not
some 15-year-old. He turned to watch for Tea.
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" shouted Selene.
"What's wrong?" asked the other Yugi. Then he noticed. Selene's right
earring was pulling on her ear. She was holding it, with a painful
expression on her face.
"Are you OK?" he asked, trying to look at her. All of a sudden, the earring
pulled Selene all the way down. It stopped right on the eye-piece of his
Millennium Puzzle, and inserted its bottom-most dangly-thing into it. The
other Yugi felt a jolt in his heart.
"What was that?" he demanded. Selene tried to look up at him, but the
earring seemed to not want to leave the Puzzle.
"I don't know. It just starts pulling and then-" she let out a loud scream.
"What now?" he asked, as he noticed her left earring pulling her toward a
different direction. The earrings seemed to be fighting each other on which
way to drag Selene.
"Why don't you take them off?" he asked as Selene gave another shriek. He
lifted up his Puzzle to lessen a little of Selene's pain.
"Not like I haven't tried. They don't come off. They just- WHOA!" yelped
Selene as the Left Millennium Earring dragged her toward an exhibit. The
other Yugi watched, mystified. Then he followed her.
It led them all the way to the room where the stone Tablet was. It went
straight to the middle of it, touched it with its dangles, and fell back
down. The other Yugi saw that both Selene's ear lobes were blistered and
red.
"There you are!" said Tea's voice. "Why did you leave?" The other Yugi
wondered what to say when,
"She was brought here by the force of the Left Millennium Earring." It was
Isis.
"How did you know that?" asked Selene.
"I felt the presence of the spirit that resides within the Left Earring"
Isis replied.
"Spirit that what?" exclaimed Selene, "No lady, I'm just an average kid. I
don't have a 'Spirit' in me."
"Yes, Selene Masaki, you're right. You don't have one, you have 2. The
Millennium Earrings are 2 separate Millennium Items, each with a separate
Spirit. You, I believe, are the first to bear both the Right and Left
Millennium Earrings." Isis said.
"But I got one of them! I found it in a gold box buried near our campsite
when I went to Egypt with Yugi." said Tea, sounding confused. "Pegasus said
something like that too, but I thought he was joking..."
"Do you still have the box?" Isis asked.
"No, I just took the earring." Tea replied. Isis closed her eyes for a
moment.
"On the box were hieroglyphs. They read: Beware the curse of the Left
Millennium Earring. The power within shall only be unleashed when the spell
is broken. But take heed! The accursed is the only to lift its blight."
Isis recited.
"The accursed..." The other Yugi said.
"Yes, my King."
"Would that mean me?" asked Selene in a small voice.
"But how do you know it isn't a fake? I saw one just like it one of the
shops there!" exclaimed Tea.
"There is a way to prove their authenticity..." said Isis, looking away.
"Selene, have you ever been the best at anything?"
"No, but I can get, like second place or something." said Selene hurriedly.
"Part of the curse: Unable to achieve victory over another."
"That means I'll never win at anything?" Selene asked, crestfallen.
"No, just not the best. There will always be someone better than you." She
replied, "Another sign, the fact that you are a werewolf."
"How did you-" Selene started.
"I know." Isis said briskly, "There's also one last sign that I know of."
"Well?" asked Selene. Tea and the other Yugi watched quietly.
"You're Spirits." said Isis.
"But I don't-" but Isis looked straight at the Earrings.
"Spirit of the Millennium Earrings, show yourselves!" she said
commandingly, her Millennium Necklace Tauk glowing.
Selene screamed. Her earrings were glowing and at the same time, unbearable
white Light surrounded her. Then shadowy Darkness encircled her. Selene
felt as though she was being split in half. She closed her eyes...
Selene looked up. Standing on either side of her were 2 girls. They both
were just as tall as her. The one on her left was standing in the shadows
under the Tablet. She had curly hair, the same height as hers, and bright
blue piercing eyes, that seemed to burn with Hatred. She was glaring at the
girl on her right. Selene looked to her right.
She couldn't take her eyes away. The girl herself was normal, with straight
hair and green eyes, but she seemed to shine. A bright Light came from her
very skin. Her green eyes sparkled with Purity. She was like an angel...
"Now do you believe me?" Isis's clear voice rang out and awoke Selene.
Selene looked at Isis, and noticed the other Yugi and Tea were also staring
transfixed at the green-eyed girl.
"What is she?" asked Tea, "I mean, who are they?"
"Ask them." said Isis. The blue-eyed one rolled her eyes.
"I'm Kage, The reason you win all your Duels." She said. "I was just taking
a nap when Miss Angel here," she looked at the other with disgust, "told me
someone was calling." The other girl blushed.
"Well tell them your name. Or are you to MODEST?" Kage asked.
"I'm-" she started. Her voice was miraculous, It gave them all energy.
"Yes?" Tea pressed, her eyes sparkling.
"I'm only Hikari." She finished quickly.
"It suits you." The other Yugi said. Hikari blushed.
"I'm sorry, Selene. It was all my fault you lost in Duelist Kingdom."
Hikari said, looking down ashamed.
"Don't mention it." Selene said. "So you 2 were the voices, right?"
"Yes." They said in unison.
"Were they in Egypt?" asked the other Yugi, "Did I know them?"
"I'm not sure..." Isis said, for the first time looking hesitant.

"I want to paint my nails Aurora Borealis" said Marilyn, addressing her
little sister.
"Of couwse, Queen Mawilyn. May I have the honow?" asked Carolyn
"Well, I don't know..." said Marilyn.
"Oh PLEASE, Queen Mawilyn!" asked Carolyn, desperately.
"Okay, fine. But don't get a bloated head that I let you do my Royal
nails." She replied.
"Oh you'we so mewciful, Queen Mawilyn." said Carolyn, running to get the
nail polish.
"Great. It's Saturday, and you got us stuck baby-sitting for FREE." Said
Joey, miserably. Charlie leapt on him.
"Rrrmph" Joey said. Tristan paid no attention.
"Do you 2 want to play a game?" he asked. Marilyn and Carolyn looked at
each other, with evil smiles. Unfortunately, Tristan didn't notice.
"Let's play Slave, Slave. I'm the Queen, you're the slave." said Marilyn.
Tristan sweat dropped.
"How about something else?" he asked.
"Stowytime!" yelled Carolyn.
"OK! Once upo-"
"No, WE say the story." Marilyn said.
"But-"
"Please!" they asked. They turned their eyes at him, and made them big,
round, and tearful. Tristan all of a sudden felt as though it was a
horrible crime to not listen to them.
"Go ahead." He said.
"Alright. Once upon a time there was a great storyteller named Queen
Marilyn. She told the best stories. One day she told her slaves a story. It
went like this: Once upon a time there was a great storyteller named Queen
Marilyn. She told the best stories. One day she told her slaves a story. It
went like this: Once upon a time there was a great storyteller named Queen
Marilyn. She told the best stories. One day she told her slaves a story. It
went like this: Once upon a time there was a great storyteller named Queen

went like this..." Marilyn said. Tristan felt himself get drowsy as Joey
gave a huge yawn...
"GREAT! We got Strawberry AND Charlie Puppy Dog in Baby-sitter trap # 42. I
thought we'd have to do all 97 of them."
"Queen Mawilyn, quick! Thewe's no time to waste!" said Carolyn, jumping up.
"Yeah, let's go."
